That's really bad news for myspace. A social networking site is only as good as the number of people who use the website. If more and more people leave the site that gives potential users less of a reason to join.
I stopped using it years ago. All of my friends were on facebook. I didn't really see a need to be sold to online hookers who were just farming my information. Facebook is the same way, but it's not as blatant.
If facebook continues to develop and reshape what it is, I see it continuing for a while. It's gonna take a pretty big contender to take it down. (Barring some major scandal or something.)
Also I love the hate garnered by facebook. My friend started ripping on it and I asked him if he had an account. He said yes but only used it to check in with friends. If you have a facebook account then you officially have little to complain about. It offers a free service to socially network with your friends and family. If you aren't fond of the set up or don't want your information being sold to advertisers then delete your account.
Left long ago, no reason to continue using it, everyone migrated to Facebook

Don't know why. but Facebook even worst, IMO. People conform to the next big and currently popular thing all the time,whether it's better or not doesn't matter.Happens all the time.I never created a Facebook,but from what I hear,Myspace seems to have more features(music,customization),Facebook does seem worse. Anyways,I never really liked Myspace,but I did love it's music feature(it's all I ever used it for).It was a great way to find good unsigned artists,or known artists putting out unreleased tracks that you couldn't hear anywhere else.It's going to suck to not have that privilege if Myspace dies.
Good. While it wasn't popular where I live, if I did ever go on it, I either couldn't see anything besides the annoying backgrounds people would put on their pages or have music blairing at me. It was so cluttered, everything would be everywhere, it was godawful. I don't see Facebook dieing out, something would have to replace it. I don't get the hate behind facebook.
No one can compete with FB at the moment, MS live space failed, Google whatever that one is called, failed and closed, MySpace is just another one waiting to be gone.magicalclick
That really stinks. I used to love MySpace. I did delete my account, but it was an awesome way to check out some bands/artists. Also, I don't think Facebook will die anytime soon unless something bigger and better comes along. I never got the hate for social networking. This site is half social networking after all. Just the main focus is video game news/data.
Stopped using myspace when it took like a full min to load someones page. Then scroll forever to read all the crap listed. Facebook is so much nicer in so many ways.
I don't anyone except local/indie bands who use myspace anymore. Myspace was as **** with everything on one page, people putting glitter, backgrounds that made it hard to read text, pictures everywhere and crappy music when you opened someone's page
Man, I met way too many people on myspace back in the day (including my wife lol) .. it was a lot better than facebook but everything has to die at some point. I think it is sad that people think facebook is better... it just is a stripped down version of myspace ppl.... but everyone wants change so before long facebook will end up in a post like this one.
Give facebook another 5 or 10 years and it will die out too

I doubt it. The article said at its peak Myspace "only" had 180M, and facebook currently has over 600M. I could see Twitter dying out though, it seems to me a majority of people who join twitter never stick with it very long (after a few months of less-and-less rapid posting they just stop using it), but i've seen quite the opposite with Facebook.
